I'm curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don't know about everywhere

Unified Remote. It's a little janky, but it does you to turn your phone into a trackpad and/or keyboard for your phone. It works with swipe typing, and allows you to use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Win+Shift+Arrow.
Truly the best way I've found of using my PC from my couch.
(>!Working on a similar app these days, but for game controllers 👀!<)
Used for years, unfortunately it appears to be abandoned.
That makes me sad. It ran my TV for like a decade
Yeah I wish they were still adding new features and stuff. But I haven't found a better alternative yet, so I guess that's what we have.
Try KDE Connect. It works over LAN, has KB+M input, media controls, file transfer, among many other things. It's available for many platforms.
I've tried it. There were three issues:
- Mouse movement was pretty choppy. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it took a little extra effort to aim at buttons.
- There wasn't an easy way to do keyboard shortcuts. I googled the issue and people were suggesting to change the system keyboard to one that includes extra keys like Windows, Ctrl, etc. I really didn't want to deal with that.
- The interface was pretty hard to navigate. In the absence of extra keyboard keys, I looked into creating a custom script in the app to maybe do things like Alt+tab a different way, and I never found it. Both apps said it had to be configured on the other device.
